Longer-term travel often means being away from friends and family for extended periods of time. Sometimes this can come as a much welcome break, but inevitably some home-sickness pangs will pluck at heart-strings before too long. Many savvy travellers will no doubt opt to travel lightly and avoid packing too many sentimental home trinkets. Whether you are uprooted for work, study, pleasure, or otherwise, there is no way, as yet, to package up your established network and the intangible values of a community that you will be leaving behind – a favourite local organic shops; the barista who knows your coffee order; the park on the corner.

One week in an apartment will never compare to being a true resident, no matter how enthusiastic you are in your role as a local. However, by choosing a holiday rental over a hotel, you are absolutely guaranteed an entirely different holiday experience, every time.

Hello! I'm Linda, a freelance journalist and travel writer with a passion for green living and the natural world. Originally from Northern Ireland, my obsession for travel started at a young age and has yet to abate. I’ve been diving with sharks, surf really badly and would like to sail around the Indian Ocean one day. Till then, you’ll find me in the land down under, always planning the next big trip.
